Education in Montserrat

Education in Montserrat is compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 14, and free up to the age of 17.[1] The Government of Montserrat developed an Education in the Country Policy Plan for 1998–2002 in conjunction with the United Kingdom.[1] Under this plan, the government is supporting initiatives in the areas of curriculum development, student assessment and evaluation, professional development for teachers, post-secondary education expansion, and educational infrastructure and information technology.[1]

The educational system is similar to that of England.[2] In 1990 all primary school-aged residents were enrolled in school.[3]
